Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford has signed on to play a hunky local butcher opposite Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener in the farmhouse vacation film Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding. Director Bruce Beresford (Double Jeopardy) is set to direct the tale of “an uptight New York City lawyer who is in desperate need of an escape after her husband asks for a divorce.” Keener stars as the lawyer, while Fonda will play her hippie mother. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding tells the story of Diane (Keener), an uptight New York City lawyer who is in desperate need of an escape after her husband asks for a divorce. Along with her two children, she takes refuge at her estranged hippie mother Grace’s (Fonda) farmhouse, where she is exposed to a motley crew of free thinkers. What was meant to be a stress-free getaway quickly turns into a reminder of why Diane escaped her mother’s hippie lifestyle in the first place, as the reunion forces her, her children, and Grace to find peace with each other and more importantly with themselves. Crawford will star as a war-protesting butcher who catches the eye of Diane’s politically active and intellectual daughter.
